Only audio problem I noticed is that the bass seems to eat all the headroom as soon as it comes in. If I had a suggestion it would be to work on the lighting for the sake of the video. It's a bit green and unflattering. Oh and it does end rather abruptly.
How many takes to get this one, out of curiosity?

Thank you so much for your comments
@foxAsteria.
The video part was just from 4 cell phones stitched together using reapers video editing. Video in Reaper is a learning curve for us.
I agree it needs more massaging in the colour spectrum/fadein/fadeout/etc, but I am not a video producer and very much appreciate your comments on the video part.
As for the takes:
Dave, the drummer listened to the ghost and then came in and nailed the drums in 1 take. Albeit,the drums are primarily only on the end/extro.
Maricor did the vocal you hear here on her second take.
Bass, acoustic and electric guitars were 1 take as we all had listened to the ghost several times prior to the session, practiced on our own time, and wrote our own number charts before we laid the tracks.
Since this project I have learned as you stated that the bass is a bit heavy. Sounded good in the studio on Yamaha HS8's, but as you said was bass heavy so I listened to it in my car and I agree with you.
New projects in the works: an EP of originals with a phenom male vocalist/songwriter.
I agree the ending is abrupt, probably need a 2 second reverb tail, and have the last bass note stretched to match.
